Why usability is the key to success for mobile solutions
Enterprise Users deserve better!
Mobile software is all around us. In the past we accessed the internet and our personal data mainly on our desk via a desktop computer, but now the focus is shifting more and more to mobile devices. When I am in the train, half the business people have their smartphone in their hand, the other half is fighting about the power plugs for charging their laptops.
But how does a mobile enterprise solution need to look like?

5 Reasons why you should implement MOMENTUM Field Service for SAP
Why you need Mobile Asset Management and why you should do it with MOMENTUM
Implementing a new business process or improving and re-engineering an existing one always comes at a price. If we look at mobile field service/mobile asset management, we will of course save money in the long run, but first we need to invest more or less. I wrote down 5 reasons why you should do it anyway. Some of these reasons apply to MOMENTUM only and will tell you why we think that we have a great solution; others apply to most other mobile field service solutions too.
Sybase Unwired Platform Part 1
An Introduction
Two weeks ago SAP announced that it will acquire Sybase, the leading company for enterprise mobility. Many people criticized this move because of the huge amount of money SAP will spend. msc mobile and I work with Sybase solutions since a while and therefore I can fully understand SAP. With this series of blogs I want to introduce Sybase' Enterprise Mobile Application Platform Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP).
MOMENTUM - the next generation of Mobile Field Service for SAP
An introduction
The development of MOMENTUM kept us from msc mobile busy the last 9 months. So it is very exciting to finally have the product in my hands and to demo it on a tablet pc to customers and partners at SAPPHIRE. The feedback has been great and I want to give you three reasons why I call MOMENTUM the next generation Mobile Field Service for SAP.
My first day's with the iPad
(and what I think about it)
So, this is the first blog post I write on the iPad (and I do it on the virtual keyboard, not on a Bluetooth one). I wished that I could write it with Pages, but - and that is the first negative thing - I am not able to install it. The reason? Well, I have a US iTunes account, but no credit card assigned to it. Wouldn't help me anyway because the access to the US store is now blocked for me in Germany. The second reason is that the iPad cannot communicate with the German store. As a workaround I had to download the few interesting iPad apps that are in the German store on my MacBook and transfer them to the iPad.
Keep it native!
Why we need native mobile solutions
Most companies, that offer mobile solutions for SAP, are following the same concept: Write the application ones and run it on all mobile platforms out of the box. This is of course great! You save a lot of time and money. Some people like Kevin Benedict call this a "user friendly, graphically rich, template based rapid application development environment for enterprises".
The SAP/Sybase Deal ... WOW!
Wow ... wow!
